Exceptionally rare and impressive Awa Buddha in bronze from Burma (Myanmar), dating to the 18th century. The figure is a remarkable example of Awa craftsmanship with several unusual features.

This antique bronze Buddha statue is seated on a very large multi-tier throne, giving it a monumental and balanced presence.

The prominent usnisa (flame on top of the head) has a stupa-like form, a classical feature in Burmese Buddhist art.

The hair is rendered in small “peppercorn” curls, and notably, the ears do not extend to the shoulders, which is an unusual characteristic.

The oval face, broad nose, and subtle smile create a calm and harmonious expression.

The figure is depicted in the rare “healing teacher” (Bhaisajyaguru) pose, holding a bowl in the left hand and a nut in the right.

The patina is deep dark brown, almost black, adding weight and character to the piece.

The figure remains in very fine condition and represents a true collector’s piece.

With a height of 56 cm, this is a large and striking Buddha figure from Burma, ideal as a centerpiece in an exclusive collection.

An outstanding choice for those seeking a rare Awa Buddha with unique iconography and historical value.
